    Hi Folks,

    Well my copy of 'Eat That Frog' by Brian Tracy has arrived and I could not resist reading a couple of chapters over lunch. One part that really springs to mind, and one that I need to really take on board if I am going to be debt free and have a better future is:-

    "Successful people are those who are willing to delay gratification and make scarifices in the short term so that they can enjoy far greater rewards in the long term'

    Hi Folks,

    Well we lost again today in the badminton, the score was 5-4. However, we played alot better today and I was happy with the performance, I think we are slowly improving.

    I did not get many jobs done on my list today. However, I did manage to organise my weekly plan for work this week, it will busy in work this week as a few deadlines to come.

    I did a bit of trading this morning, but lost about £12. However, I have made about £73 for the month so far, so not bad.

    Hi Folks,

    I am off work this morning as I am waiting for the chap from Bosch to come and repair my dishwasher. I got a letter from them a month or so ago saying that certain models, within a batch ranger have a fire risk part present, and it needs replacing free of charge, so just waiting for them to come.

    With the badminton yesterday I did not get any of my B grades complete on my list, with the exception of my weekly work plan, so I need to get some jobs done around the house tonight. I will have to stay late in work this afternoon as well as I have quite a lot to catch up on, nothing like being busy eh??? :rotfl:

    No NSD's for me over the weekend, so need to try and get some this week

    Hi Folks,

    Well last night I managed to get quite a few jobs done on my B grade list, so quite pleased with that. I did not manage a NSD though, as about 7pm, as I was just starting to cook tea, I had a power cut. The power cut happened to the whole street, so I had to go out and get some fish and chips. Eventually the power came back on.

    Hi folks,

    Well I was working late last night, so did not get home until about 7pm, just in time for some tea and the champions league footy. Managed to get some trading done and made about £7, I also made about £4 on the Monday trading the England Vs India cricket match. Every little helps.

    Hopefully tonight I can get the kitchen cleaned and get the hoovering done to complete all the house jobs for the week.

    Hi Folks,

    Well managed to get the kitchen cleaned last night, I also managed to do some more washing. I also had time to fit in a bit of trading on the champions league matches. I managed to make £10.06. So that takes my profit to £96.57 for the month and an overall profit of £350.49

    I have badminton tonight, but I am hoping to manage a NSD today.
